Basketball player
LeBron James may have scored a slam dunk for his photo album, but he put himself in danger of being struck off the royal Christmas card list by putting his arm around the Duchess of Cambridge.
Prince William and Kate posed with the Cleveland Cavaliers player in New York yesterday after a game with the Brooklyn Nets, where they were presented with a shirt for
Prince George. But as the camera flashes went off, Mr Lebron put his arm around her shoulder - a breach in etiquette, even though he is known as King James.
Etiquette expert
William Hanson told
MailOnline:
'Although I am sure the Duchess of Cambridge won’t have worried about it, Mr James should not have put his arm around her. Americans are much more tactile than we Brits and this is another example of an American being too touchy feely with British royalty. You’d have think they’d have learned by now.'
The basketball star also appeared alongside the royals in a sweaty top, which some may regard as bad form.
'A shower would have been preferable but he had just finished a game – so even more reason for him not have opened his pits by lifting his arm and placing it around Her Royal Highness!'
